Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Due to the soft nature of sandstone and it being a sedimentary material, there are various unavoidable minute losses and debris that occur during installation and de-installation of the work. The losses are small and insignificant and in no way affect the artist's intention of the piece as they are to be considered inherent to the medium.
